Hey guys, so today me and my dad were doing some cleaning and we found an old Canon camera and a set of telephoto lens. We both don't really know anything about photography so we don't know what these are worth. My dad hasn't used it in years, and we have no use for it, so we were hoping to sell it so someone who would appreciate it, or see if any of you guys wanted to buy it? Thanks for any help.


Here are pics of everything:

$45 for 100-200mm lens and flash.



This stuff doesn't go for that much really, i hate to say it. Lens usually run $20-$180 depending on what lens/qaulity.


I have an old canon FTb that i need some new lens for.


Sell me your lens and flash

Not much. Canon FD lenses aren't as valuable as other vintage lenses. They aren't the best lenses for the EOS series, but for a m4/3 camera or fs100 or af100, etc, theyre great manual lenses.

^ it is, it's pretty cool and it has all sorts of adjustments you can make. Also found a Blacks tripod that came with the first camera, but I'm going to keep it NS see if I can use it once I get a DSLR. It's looks really high quality

The Canon AE1+50mm = ~60$
The 100-200mm = ~25$
The flash = 10-15$

Minolta camera+lens = ~25-30$
The 50mm f/1.4 = 40-50$
The last lens you posted I don't have a clue about, can't tell what it is.

All the lenses you posted aren't really used by people anymore - except for the AE1, which is still a very nice camera if you ask me (and is also used by many).

Sounds like it's a teleconverter. Won't be worth much. 20 bucks maybe.

should I put them on eBay? Or take it to a photo shop and see if they'll buy them?

you'll be more likely to sell them at a pawn shop

ebay may be more trouble than it's worth

Yeah. It's really only the fast glass that's still worth anything. Ae-1's go for $5 at garage sales.
